Speaker 1 (00:10):
Independent thoughts, independent life. This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Now the debate is about the debate. Will they debate
or won't they debate? Let's debate that, shall we? They're
going to have to debate. Trump needs to debate. I
hate to break it to a lot of people out there.
He needs to debate because he is not at this
moment winning. It's close, and you can't always trust the polls,

(00:39):
but I think with the new AI models they're closer
than they've been, that is for sure. But he absolutely
has to debate her. And right now they're going back
and forth and back and forth and how do we
do this and how do we do that? Who gets this?
And who gets that? And he's like, eh, you have
to debate. It has to happen if you're Donald Trump.

(01:01):
I have said this since this began the honeymoon period.
I don't think is going to go away, not the
way that it should. Oh, she may get a tough
question here there, if she ever answers a question, and
if she's ever asked a question. But you must debate

(01:23):
because that is your chance to expose her. Would you
want the microphone feuded in the debate?

Speaker 3 (01:29):
Whenever you're not speaking.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
We meet to the same rules.

Speaker 4 (01:32):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:32):
It doesn't matter to me.

Speaker 4 (01:33):
I'd rather have it probably on.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
But the agreement was that it would be the same
as it was last time.

Speaker 5 (01:39):
In that case, it was muted.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
I didn't like it the last time, but it worked
out fine. They're trying to change it. The truth is
they're trying to get out of it because she doesn't
want a debate. She's not a good debater, she's not
a smart person. She doesn't want a debate.

Speaker 6 (01:53):
How are you specifically preparing for the debate versus Harrison.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
I'm not.

Speaker 4 (01:57):
I'm not spending a lot of time on it.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
I think.

Speaker 7 (02:01):
The day.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
Well, that's true, and we're hearing that she's supposedly debating AI,
which whether or not that's true, you don't know. Nate
Silver talking about the debate. Does he need to debate
Nate of five thirty eight Nate, Yeah.

Speaker 8 (02:14):
He does not have a lot of leverage in my view.
He again, Harris is ahead right now. Sheuld probably win
an election right now. So Trump wants variants, wants opportunities
to updend the narrative. So she doesn't really have a
lot of leverage. I mean obviously like when he's more
disciplined of better candidate. So you want Mike's muted. You
want things that create more focus. If Ira Harris will

(02:35):
be like, Okay, tough news, buddy, you know, if you
want a debate, it's my.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
Rules so important right there, the muting of the microphones,
the microphones. I have said that having no audience and
the microphones muted saves Trump from himself in so many occasions,

(03:00):
absolutely saves him from himself. And they don't want that.
They want it wild and crazy.

Speaker 6 (03:09):
Well, the Vice President thinks that the American people deserve
a real debate where the candidates can go back and
forth in real exchanges to talk about the issues that
matter and to respond in real time to what you
would see from President Trump outlandish lies and attacks. And
so we want that opportunity for the American people to
see Donald Trump for who he is, not censored, not muted,

(03:29):
but the unfettered guy that he is going to be
if he becomes president again, especially now that we know
the Supreme Court has given him the authority to have
unfettered power.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
They want it. So the mics are on understand that
because their goal is piss him off, frustrate him, get
into say something ridiculous, Get into say something about him
being I mean her being you know, a female. Get
get him to say something about her race, Get him
to say something calling stupid, whatever it is that he

(04:04):
will say that. They know that they can tempt him
into saying and having that microphone on would be a huge,
huge win for them. Absolutely, continuing more from the DNZ.
So we just had a surrogate for Kamala. How about

(04:25):
the chair of the DNC.

Speaker 4 (04:27):
The American people want to see these two folks on
the debate stage talking about the issues that are important
to the American people. You know, we made clear in
our convention that this is about our fundamental freedoms. All
those things are on the ballot. We know what Donald
Trump's Project twenty twenty five is all about about really
going after those freedoms and the rights. Those things need

(04:49):
to be debated, and Donald Trump needs to talk about
his actual agenda. It's scared to see that this former
president is so scared to get on the debate stage.
But I guess if I had his positions, I'd be
scared to let the American people know what they worry
as well.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
Well. But a lot of his positions have now become
her positions. I don't know if you guys are aware
of that. Have you seen the ad for immigration? It's
like got a wall? She has said, are you ready
for this? This is spectacular? So if you want to
talk about flip flop, do you remember how racist the
wall was? It was so racist, had little hoods on it.

(05:28):
It was the tiki torches. It was That's why Biden
was going to be president because the wall marched out
of those cornfields in Charlottesville with the tiki torches in
the bulging veins. Ah yeah, no, get ready for this.
Axios reporting this is the flip flop of the Century

(05:48):
continues that infelected president, she pledges to spend hundreds of
millions of dollars on the wall along the southern border,
projects she once deposed and called un American. Even actually
said this is yet another situation of her flip flopping

(06:10):
from supporting Medicare for all, banning, fracking the wall, decriminalizing immigration,
illegal immigration taxes. I mean we go on and on.
I mean she is flip flopping and it's not even close.

(06:35):
And it's it's interesting because Nate Silver talked about the
fact that you run towards the center. That's what you do.
We don't know yet.

Speaker 4 (06:45):
There's been very little polling post her speech.

Speaker 8 (06:48):
But look, I thought it was a speech that was
quite moderate in a lot of ways, aim more at
men than women, with a lot of record about like
a vicious military or legal military and things like that.
So I thought it was smart trying to win the center,
not just a base.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
And the funny thing is if you talked to many
other people or posters out there and people who watched
that said it was nothing for the Democratic Convention for
men whatsoever. But the center. It's where she's headed. You
run towards the center. Bill Clinton realized, Okay, I got
boat raced in the midterms. I got to move to

(07:22):
the center. That's what the country expects me to do.
That's what he did. It used to be back in
the day, you ran somewhat. I mean, the extremes weren't
what they are now, but you ran towards the extreme
because you were trying to win the bid to get nominated,
And then everybody knew once you won that position that

(07:43):
you would head to the middle because you needed to
expand the tent. Now everybody stays out there, not her.
And in a time when thirty years ago, twenty five
years ago, twenty years ago, this kind of fluctuation would
be expected. But in today world, it's not the fact
that you are going against everything you said is crazy.

Speaker 9 (08:09):
It is.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
And then you're gaslighting the American people into believing that
these were your beliefs all along, because that's what I
got to think, because you won't take a question from anybody. Well, Chad,
she's gonna do some sort of you know thing this month.

(08:31):
You guys know that, right Like she's gonna I mean,
she's she is. I mean, it's it's gonna happen. By
the way, speaking of the debate, I don't know if
you guys have saw this, but they've put out a
they have put out a the hairs on the debate
with Trump. They put out a little like fifteen second
clip about the debate with Chicken noises why not debater?

Speaker 9 (08:54):
Well way, but because they already know everything, there's oh Trumps,
you know, not doing the That's the same thing they say.

Speaker 4 (09:01):
Now, I mean, right now, I say, why should I
do a debit? I'm leading in the polls and everybody
knows her, everybody knows me.

Speaker 5 (09:08):
But when I looked at the hostility of that, I said,
why am I doing it for?

Speaker 2 (09:11):
Let's sit with another network. It's the debate is going
to happen. If it doesn't happen, Trump is a serious
trouble because this is your chance, dude, you got one
chance to make it. So you absolutely turn the tides
of this momentum that you force the media now to

(09:33):
get in her face and ask questions and not just
suggest it, but demand she sits down, but demand that
she explains how she went from point A to point B.
The demands that she puts herself in a position to
be questioned by the American public for how she feels,

(09:53):
and that the vibes and the joy that that doesn't
count as actual campaigning. It's just a feeling. You've got
to it absolutely has to happen. Three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benton Show is your Twitter?
Tweet at as text The program A lot of stuff
to get to today, including how boring life is. Life

(10:16):
is boring, says one in four Americans. Are you one
of those one in four Americans? Do you see the
NFL is going to vote today on whether or not
to allow private equity. So, if you're an NFL owner,
you own the team, maybe in a trust, you may
have a few partners, but you're an owner of the team.

(10:37):
There is no private equity, and they're going to vote
on whether or not to allow ten percent to be
bought by private equity. It's the one place and the
one sport that right now there is no private equity ownership.
Now they could only own ten percent of it, but still,

(10:57):
what's that going to be like? And is eventually going
to get to the point where one hundred percent is
owned by private equity? And so your football team is
going to be owned by essentially a bank, and in
doing so, they're going to care about profit and they're
not going to care The bottom line isn't going to
be wins or losses. It is going to be did

(11:19):
we make a lot of money or not make a
lot of money? Because for most people who own these teams,
this is their toys. Although it's going away, I mean,
you know long gone is Today you could buy a
franchise for two hundred million dollars. You can't even buy
a major league soccer team buying in now costs god
knows how much. So the NFL with the Cowboys nine

(11:41):
billion dollars. Yeah, private equity can they get into? What
would that be?

Speaker 4 (11:46):
Like?

Speaker 2 (11:47):
So much stuff to get to today. It's not just
all politics and stuff. Yes, we're talking Mark Zuckerberg. Yes,
it's important that we do. After he sent out that letter.

You're listening to the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 11 (13:12):
Question for Democrats, why is Kamala saying strength through Joy
and using that as a part of her campaign? Do
you guys know what strength through Joy comes from? Strength
through Joy was a leisure program for Nazis during World
War Two, set up in November nineteen thirty three as
a tool to promote the advantages of Nazism to the
German people and internationally through a structure of organized defense

(13:32):
and promotion of propaganda. It was also intended to prevent
dissident and anti state behavior, so they wanted to prevent
going against the government or rebelling. Let's hear how you're
going to explain this one away, Democrats.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
All right, First of all, I have looked everywhere for
strength through Joy. I've looked all over the interwebs to
find out where she said strength through joy.

Speaker 12 (13:56):
We measure the strength of ourselves not based on who
beat down, from who we lived up, and let's continue
to focus on that as a way to strengthen ourselves
our country, but also to give us joy.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
Okay, do I think that's the campaign slogan? Do I
think she's a Nazi? I don't have I seen any
strength through Joy stuff that's been put up from the campaign,
I haven't. But you know what, if you're on the right,
run with it. What the hell right like? They continue
to peddle the bs That is very fine. People. No

(14:33):
matter how many times you show, no matter how many
times you not just show the clips, not just play
the clips in their entirety, no matter how many times
you even give people the entire trans description of what
Trump said, it doesn't matter because it is no longer

(14:56):
what is truth. It is what can I get you
to believe is the truth that will take me further
in this election. And you are counting on people that
are not going to do any due diligence. They're going
to hear what you say, and in many cases they're

(15:19):
about affirmation not information, so they will believe whatever it
is that you say. So did they really say strength
through joy? Probably not, not anywhere I can find it.
And I'm not saying anything posted joy is a big deal,
don't get me wrong, because they're all about vibes three two, three, five,

(15:41):
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson
Show's your Twitter tweet at his text the program right
here on the Chad Benson Show. But I like to
be honest here. I like to put stuff out there,
say look, this is what it's all about, because I
want you to be informed. And I get some much
stuff sent to me every single day from people on

(16:02):
the right and the left saying look at this, look
at this, and then you have I feel like a
mini Snopes And it's not hard to do your due diligence,
and I get it. It's confusing out there. What do
I mean by confusing? It is? Look, the internet is
full of disinformation, misinformation. The Internet is full of bots

(16:25):
who are pushing things. The Internet is full of a
lot of stuff. And you take people that are trying
to fool you, Bots that are trying to fool you,
nations that want to meddle in our elections and politics,
who want to fool you, and you find a group
of people that are receptive to what it is that

(16:46):
you're pushing and peddling bs, whatever it is, and you
have a recipe for spreading stuff that's not true. And
in many cases, and I would say vast majority of them,
nobody's person there. They want affirmation. Both sides in today's
world want affirmation. They're not interested in the truth or

(17:07):
information because they want to be right and they identify
in such way. And that's the frustrating part three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four, twenty three at Chad Benson Show's your Twitter,
tweet at us text the program. So much stuff to
get to. Oh my goodness, we got the flip flopping
of Kamala, the world's oldest land creature has been through

(17:31):
a lot. Talk about that because it's fun. That's why
Jeez can't be serious all the time. It's the Chad Benson,
Joe The Chad Benson.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
Show, Independent Thoughts, Independent Life, This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
Mark Zuckerberg interesting came out with a letter yesterday. Now
I want to go back in time a little bit,
getting the way back machine. We'll go back. He was
on with Joe Rogan a while ago talking about the
Hunter Biden laptop all of that stuff. Because this letter
that he sent out yesterday to Jim Jordan was essentially saying, hey, look,

(18:29):
the campaign and then the presidency of Harris and Biden
absolutely one hundred percent pressured us, forced us for the
most part to basically silent speech.

Speaker 13 (18:41):
Like there was a lot of attention on Twitter during
the election because of the Hunter Biden laptop story, the
Nilo two. Yeah, so you guys censored that as well.

Speaker 14 (18:52):
So we took a different path than Twitter. I mean
basically the background here is the FBI, I think basically
came to us some folks on our team. It was like, hey,
just so you know, like you should be on high alert.
There was we thought that there was a lot of
Russian propaganda in the twenty sixteen election. We have it
on notice that basically there's about to be some kind

(19:15):
of dump of that's similar to that, so just be vigilant.
So our protocol is different from Twitter's. What Twitter did
is they said you can't share this at all.

Speaker 15 (19:27):
We didn't do that, but all of those people, all
those super professional, awesome you know, fifty intelligent officers who
know the hallmarks of RUSS and disinformation.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
They but all of those people, what about those people
they've been so they didn't censor it, but what they
did do was essentially killed it.

Speaker 14 (19:50):
What if something is reported to us as potentially misinformation
important misinformation, we also have this third party fact checking
program because we don't want to be deciding what's true
in FA And for the I think it was five
or seven days when it was basically being being determined
whether it was false. The distribution on Facebook was decreased,

(20:11):
but people were still allowed to share it, so you
could still share it, you could still consume it.

Speaker 2 (20:15):
When you say the distribution is decreased.

Speaker 14 (20:17):
It got shared basically the ranking and news feed was
a little bit less, so fewer people saw it than
would have otherwise. So it definitely by what percentage, I
don't know off the top of my head, but it's
it's it's meaningful, but I mean, but basically a lot
of people were still able to share it. We got
a lot of complaints that that was the case. You know,
obviously this is a hyper political issue. So depending on

(20:40):
what side of the political spectrum, you either think we
didn't censor it enough or censored it way too much.
But we weren't sort of as black and white.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
No, you weren't as black and white. That being said,
for the most part, you killed it, you allowed people
to share it, put it on their page, but for
the most part, nobody saw it. You felt like, oh, well,
look at that, that's on my page. Now, that was
the Hunter Biden laptop. And depending on who you believe,
seventy nine percent of people said it would have made

(21:07):
some difference in the last election seventy nine percent. So
that's what some people report. Others report that wouldn't made
a big difference. What should have made a difference. And
I've said this all along. It had zero to do
with Hunter Biden and his laptop. It had all to
do with the fact that the media and many people
inside of government, when they talk about the deep state,

(21:30):
they and a lot of times, let's be real, they
take these conspiracies and they run with them, but you
give them fuel for the fire. And there were many
people whose sole goal was to beat Donald Trump, period,
case closed, end of story. And if lying and doing

(21:52):
whatever they thought they had to do, the ends justified
the mean. It wasn't about Hunter Biden's laptop. It was
about stopping people from learning something and getting information because
your disdain for this person was so great that you
were willing to essentially get rid of all of the
morals that you have that you feel justified to laud

(22:15):
over Trump and his supporters that you're more morally superior,
and in doing so, say just this one time, we'll
do this. Well, it wasn't just that one time.

Speaker 16 (22:25):
What about COVID or in the middle of a pandemic,
and we've assessed that misinformation about COVID and treatments that
could put people an additional risk of getting the disease
or not seeking the right treatment if they have it,
that those are also things that could cause him in enharm.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
Remember that all that stuff, Well, you know, it wasn't
even just about misinformation difformation. You could even question something.
You couldn't even have something satirical up there with COVID now.
In the letter that he sent to Jim Jordan, he
said he was repealtly, repeatedly pressured by the government for

(23:08):
months to take down certain COVID nineteen content, including humor
and satire. He says, I believe the government pressure was wrong,
and I regret that we were not more outspoken about it.
He also went on to say, I think we made
some choices with the benefit of hindsight and new information
we wouldn't make today. We're ready to push back if

(23:30):
something like this happens again, and we'll get deeper into
letter next hour, but the White House is already pushing back.
They manipulated them. They had people who pressured and manipulated
them prior to the election. That's the thing that should

(23:51):
be scary. That's what should be scary. And the thing
is the disdain of Trump. He's got people so amped
up and fired up that they're willing to say it's
okay to censor, it's okay to block, it's okay to

(24:12):
do whatever you have to do to make sure that
he is not president. And that's nuts. This is author
former professor Rrett Weinstein talking about the Democratic Party. By
the way, he's a lifelong Democrat, He'll tell.

Speaker 17 (24:29):
You that I think the modern Democratic Party is an
existential threat to the republic. And although I am a
Democrat and I've been a Democrat my whole life, party
that I see in front of me today is literally
the inverse of the party I signed up for. This
is now the party of war, party of racism, this
is the party of censorship. I don't recognize this party.

(24:50):
There is no conceivable scenario in which I would vote
for Kamala Harris. I just simply will not do it.

Speaker 2 (24:58):
And if you don't know who he is, he he
was the guy that kind of started all the cancel
culture and stuff. He was at Evergon College up in
Washington and they had a day of absence right where
only people of color could be on there. And he's
a white guy and a professor, and he's like, now
I'm showing up. And that's what started all the chaos.

(25:19):
And from there that was twenty seventeen, the last seven
years later, here we are. But he says, I think
what we should be honestly asking ourselves. You look over
at them and you see joy and happiness. Great, that
sounds fantastic. But Tim Wallas has come out and said that,
you know, free speech, it's not guaranteed. No one absolutely

(25:41):
is guaranteed. And hate speech, the thing you do not
like the most, is the only speech that is guaranteed.
He didn't say that, Oh, he did say that. I
think we need to push back on this.

Speaker 18 (25:55):
There's no guaranteed of free speech on misinformation or hate speech,
and especially around in our democracy.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
And I'll plague in the longer version here in a second,
but because I want to put it in context, but
hate speech absolutely guaranteed. Because all the speech that everybody
likes that doesn't need protection, hate speech does. These are
the things that I worry about. These are the things

(26:24):
that I care about. I'm a free speech absolutist. These
are the things that matter. Well, why would you vote
for somebody like Trump because he's going to get rid
of the media. Really has he gotten rid of the media.
He was president before. You know, he didn't get rid
of the media. He didn't lock up Rachel maddowt he
didn't do any of that stuff. But he's gonna do

(26:44):
what is he going to do? I've pointed out over
and over again in truth, he is very mild in
the way that he governed. Many conservatives won't even call
him conservative. He's a populist with some conservative ideas. How
many wars did he get us into I'm going to
go with zero. Oh yeah. But they're scared enough that

(27:10):
they're willing to throw all of their ideas that has
built this country away to protect what they have. That
shows you the kind of machine that they have built,
and it's scary. More from Rhett Weinstein.

Speaker 17 (27:25):
Am I open to voting for Trump?

Speaker 4 (27:26):
I am.

Speaker 17 (27:27):
I'm especially open to it if he is partnered with
Bobby Kennedy, because what that tells me is that my values,
which are a much closer match for Bobby's, are represented
in that administration. I want a coalition to redefine American
politics because frankly, we have a long standing problem with corruption,
which has now turned into something else with the modern

(27:48):
Democratic Party. But we need to rethink the way we
govern ourselves so that corruption is not the dominant force,
and a coalition is the way we're going to do that.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
I agree Rhet Weinstein right there. But the fact that
everybody out there, because they're disdained for Trump is so great.
Their hatred of Trump, their Trump derangement, syndrome is so
freaking strong. They're willing to say, do whatever you need
to do to get the result that you need, even
if that means becoming the thing that you are saying

(28:20):
he is, because we need to win this or else,
And if that means stomping on people's rights, then do it,
then do it because we need to win. It's a
full contact sport. There's no doubt about that. Three two, three, five,

(28:41):
three eight, twenty four to twenty three atch you had
Benson shows your Twitter tweet at his text to program.
We're going to talk about the oldest walking land creature
on the planet. Imagine the things he's seen. We talk
about that coming up first, Borck Capital. Bor Work is
amazing and right now Bullwork has something for you. You're saying, what,

(29:03):
how about a free risk review? Now what is a
free risk review? Well, they're going to go through your
portfolio top to bottom. What's in your portfolio, what's happening
in your portfolio that you may or may not know,
really if it's helping you or hurting you. Because for
many people, we just have our retirement there and we

Speaker 2 (30:33):
We discussed Chad Bens a shoe.

Speaker 10 (30:43):
Deep states no deep doo doo eeah. The Chat Benson Show.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
Is your life boring. We'll talk about that in a second.
This tortoise has been around for quite a long time.
The lady that I I think was the eighth longest
living human being that we had a record for just
passed away last week. We talked about that how she
avoided toxic people. This critter here has been on this planet,

(31:17):
walking on this earth, longer than that lady by a
whole bunch. It's Jonathan the tortoise.

Speaker 19 (31:25):
Jonathan the tortoise was born before your grandparents, your great grandparents,
and likely your great great grandparents.

Speaker 20 (31:33):
Jonathan is the oldest living land animal and that is
now recorded in the Guinness Book of World.

Speaker 19 (31:39):
Records at one hundred and ninety two years old. Jonathan
has seen a lot born during the reign of Queen
Victoria and has lived through forty American presidencies. He's met
royalty in nineteen forty seven, before she was Queen, Jonathan
met then Princess Elizabeth.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
Seen a lot, is what we're saying on Earth wandering.

Speaker 19 (32:03):
Around teeny Lucy has been Jonathan's official caretaker on the
island of Saint Helena for more than a decade of
He knows my voice.

Speaker 20 (32:11):
I'm pretty sure he knows my footsteps as well.

Speaker 19 (32:14):
The key to Jonathan's long life might be a healthy diet,
so he.

Speaker 20 (32:18):
Eats everything carras, apples, lettuce, He loves letters. Bananas are
his absolute favorites.

Speaker 19 (32:25):
But it's more likely genetics. According to the Smithsonian, Seashell's
giant tortoises have an average life expectancy of one hundred
and fifty years. Jonathan is ahead of.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
The curve, so he's living good. He told me that
he has avoided toxic people, smokes a cigar a day
and just feels like he's just a hundred, which is awesome.
Not the old stand on the planet. That would be
the Greenland shark, which is asked tomate to be around
four hundred years old. The one that they have studied
it grows like a centimeter a year, and it is

(33:00):
out there living its life. And the one that they
have found, I mean, this is this shark that is
out there that they have estimated to be over four
hundred plus years old, has seen some stuff that would
make Jonathan blush. I mean, he has lived through some things,
is what I'm trying to tell you. Are you bored?

(33:20):
Are you It's a fair question. Is forty really the
new thirty for those who love adventure? The answer is yes.
The new survey finds at forty two is a perfect
age to embark on an adventure and that one in
four people in America think life is breing. Survey reveals
that people falling into a rut. Oh I could see that,

(33:44):
and they fantasize about going on an adventure at least
four times a day, but only ten percent felt that
they could be adventurous in the current life that they
lead at this moment in time. Oh wow, adventure doesn't
have to be grandiose, said as one of the people
from this survey says. You can go twenty miles away

(34:06):
into the adventure, or you can go two thousand miles
from home. Either way, it's an adventure, and most people
feel like they don't. When asked to define an adventure,
most described it as anything outside of their daily routine, inexperience.
That's about fifty percent of people. That makes them appreciate
life a little bit more doing things like that. That's
about thirty percent of people. Top three things that stir

(34:26):
adventure urges are close to what most people would think
warm weather right, like sitting there on a beach somewhere
that's crazy. Seeing family and friends, and going on trips.
Those are the things that are pooh, I guess supposed
to be adventures. I'm gonna go see my family? Is

(34:47):
that an adventure?

Speaker 7 (34:47):
No?

Speaker 2 (34:47):
I thought what I think of an adventure. I think
of like I'm gonna go to the island of Komodo
and I'm gonna fight at Komodo Dragon. Really no, but
that sounds like an adventure, not like I'm gonna go
see my mom. It's not a very nice chat. And I
do love my mom, don't get me wrong. I just
don't feel that it's very adventure is but I could see, man,

(35:08):
I tell my wife this, I'm blessed to live the
life that we do. And but there's days you're inside
studio for me, twelve hours a day inside of a
box essentially, and so yeah, getting outside for me, the
sunshine is power golfing. You know, I need some of
that stuff, But I do love an adventure. I've always

(35:28):
been that way. Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four,
twenty three at Chad Benson Shows your Twitter, tweet at us,
text the program right here in the Chad Benson Show.
Venture is important. Spice up your life, not just your
love life. People, That's what I'm trying to tell you.
The debates talk a bit about that. We talk about Starliner.

(35:53):
That's the thing in the sky that was supposed to
bring the people home after eight days from Boeing is
like Boeing collapsing. Are we watching the amazing American company
it's been around for evan today fall apart right in
front of our eyes. I kind of feel like we are.
Now's the time to buy the stock, is what I'm
trying to tell you. Plus a lot of other stuff
coming up in the next hour. If you missed these,
show me your regret the podcast. It is the Chad

(36:14):
Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (36:24):
This is the Chad Benson Show. Independent thoughts independent life.

(36:54):
This is Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (36:55):
I did something I normally don't do. I watched RFK
Junior and Tucker in a con I like RFK Junior
because I think he thinks outside the box. He's a
little bit wacky. Uh take a lot of stuff he
says with a grain of salt. At the same time,
I think he's been right on stuff which pisses some
people off as well. He wants to make America healthy again,
et cetera, et cetera. But I do have a question

(37:17):
for everybody out there about the murder of his uncle,
not his dad, but his uncle. What if, out of curiosity,
what if one of our organizations, one of our agencies,
was involved in that. You see, when he endorsed Trump,
Trump said, Hey, I'm gonna let you do a couple things.

(37:38):
I keep saying, put him in charge of, like the
FDA or the CDC or something. But uh, how about
a special thing to look into. I don't know, the
assassination of your uncle. Because of all the conspiracies in
American history, this one is the biggest.

Speaker 21 (37:57):
You know.

Speaker 22 (37:58):
In your joint appearance on President Trump introduced you by
saying that he plans to if elected establish a commission
to declassify the remaining documents run your uncle's murder in
nineteen sixty three. Yeah, and I think everyone at this
point knows the truth, which is the CIA is implicated
in that those documents protect SA maybe among others.

Speaker 21 (38:20):
Well, whether they do or not, it's odd that they've
not allowed them to be released because what could possibly
be the ext one and then the sixty years after
my uncle's dead, almost the sixty five years, oh, the
sixty two years after his death, and there are none
of the people who were implicated in that crime are
alive now and the last ones have died off in

(38:41):
the last year or two. And so it clearly is
to protect the institution. Yes, and that's wrong. It is wrong,
and is wrong for a Democrats, wrong for republics.

Speaker 2 (38:55):
One hundred percent wrong for a democrat or republic But
it does make you think for a second, just outside
of Republican or Democrat, what if one of our agencies,
the institutions that we have here, what if one of
them decided to take out the president? What would that
do for the trust of any of these agencies. I

(39:18):
don't care if it's the EPA, I don't care it
does whatever it is, what would you think at that
point in time? And he goes on, here, we'll play
a bit talking about you know, because I have thought
Trump was gonna do it, and he kind of did,
but didn't really because remember when he released all that stuff,
and it was everything was redacted at the really important
parts and then there were some that weren't. And normally
when these things get released. He said something there rf

(39:41):
K Junior about their dead because normally when any of
these things come out, they look around the room and
goes everybody dead. Nobody can be in trouble now nobody right,
there's nobody being held accountable that was still alive that participated. Okay,
they're all gone. Fantastic.

Speaker 22 (40:00):
Just interesting though that a bipartisan list of presidents low
these these six decades have kept those files classified.

Speaker 2 (40:08):
Well, you and I have both.

Speaker 21 (40:09):
I was astonished that Trump uh didn't declasisfy him because
he promised to during the campaign.

Speaker 2 (40:14):
That was Mike Pompeo who did that.

Speaker 21 (40:15):
Yeah, and that and that I talked to President Trump
for the first time about that this week and what
he's saying. He said that Mike Pompeo begged him to Uh,
And I don't think I'm telling tales out of school here.

Speaker 2 (40:27):
No, I think he told the same thing to you.

Speaker 21 (40:29):
That's true, But he said Mike Pompey called him and said,
this wouldn't be a catastrophe release you need to not
do it, and that you know.

Speaker 22 (40:39):
But that that kind of tells the whole story right there,
right that the CIA is. Oh yeah, why would the
CIA be trying to keep these files classified if they
had nothing to do with the murder.

Speaker 2 (40:51):
It's just a question, I asked, And I think I'd
love to hear from you. Tweet at us at Chad
Benson show text the Program three two three five three
eight twenty four twenty three three two three five three
eight Chad that if they were involved, what does that
do for us and the trust that we look at
government and in these agencies and stuff. What does that

(41:13):
do to even the people that are that are hardcore
government can do no wrong. There's plenty of those people
out there. They're they're you know, they're here. They've got
this this vision of government as a utopia. It is
their god. Uh, these agencies are only there for benevolent reasons.
What if he gets in there and finds out that, yeah, absolutely,

(41:43):
one of our agencies, the CIA, was involved in the
killing of one of our own presidents. I think that
would shake America's foundation of who we are and the
belief that the people that still love government. Would you
even have that belief in anymore? And you know, his
family's always out there. They can't stand it, right, they're

(42:04):
pissed off as anger. How could you with Trump? How
could you with Trump? And they're doing that, And like,
first of all, I don't give rat tess about your family,
and you guys always talk about our father and our family,
but like you really Ted Ted Kennedy, japiquittick do we
remember that? Come on, do we really buy that? Speaking
of another controversy, how is your family built? By the way,

(42:24):
last time I checked, the great great grandfather, the one
who started it all, a bit of a fascist. He is,
you know, called Trumpet fascists all the time. Old Pop's Kennedy.
There's like telling everybody and anybody in the government, Hey,
you guys should really give this Hitler guy a chance.
He seems like a good, solid dude. Write letters to everybody.
I think you guys should see you've got some good ideas.

(42:47):
Oh jeez, but I think it's a fair question. How
would you feel about these agencies? I mean the FBI,
Apartment of Justice, CIA, I mean think about the CIA
for a second. They're not allowed to operate on that
should say a lot. Just pointing those kinds of things
out to you debate or not to debate, that is

(43:07):
the great cool question.

Speaker 6 (43:09):
Well, the Vice president thinks that the American people deserve
a real debate where the candidates can go back and
forth in real exchanges, to talk about the issues that
matter and to respond in real time to what you
would see from President Trump outlandish lies and attacks. And
so we want that opportunity for the American people to
see Donald Trump for who he is, not censored, not muted,

(43:30):
but the unfettered guy that he is going to be
if he becomes president again, especially now that we know
that the Supreme Court has given him the authority to
have unfettered power.

Speaker 4 (43:38):
Ah.

Speaker 2 (43:38):
Look at that, such crap, unfettered power. Ah. So they're
debating the rules, and there's going to be debate. Trump
has no choice. He has to debate. Has to happen.
This is your chance, this is your chance to do
what journalists aren't doing, and what Kamala is not doing

(43:58):
or Kamala or Vice than in Harris, where is giving
them any kind of pushback to her on any of
her stances that have been all over the place. By
the way, and I'm talking all over the freaking place.
Go look at her new ad for the border wall

(44:20):
she's gonna build. I mean, it's just it's insane. So
this is your chance to do their job because they're
not getting a chance to and they don't seem to
be really pushing the way that they should be. Scott Jennings,
he does want a debater.

Speaker 4 (44:34):
He's got a debater.

Speaker 2 (44:35):
In fact, he wanted to do like three debates.

Speaker 23 (44:37):
And she agreed to this one, and he agreed to
the rules against Biden. And now she wants to change
your rules even though these were the rules.

Speaker 24 (44:42):
They used to be.

Speaker 25 (44:42):
Happy that the rules would be that he can say
whatever he wants, Like, I mean, if he really wants
to debate her, that would be what he would want.

Speaker 4 (44:48):
I don't know they're going to debate.

Speaker 23 (44:49):
He needs to debate, hold her to account for her
record as vice president, her positions when she ran for president,
her record in the Senate, because no one else is
going to help them.

Speaker 2 (44:58):
That's right, And I've said that this is your chance. Man,
you have to debate. There is no if andrews By,
you can't allow her not to. And if I'm her,
I'm going to change the rules every day. If I'm her,
I'm going to him in haw If I'm her, I'm
going to do all of those things until I'm either

(45:19):
forced to or if I can get away with it.
I said, when this started, then you know thirty what
thirty eight days now is she's not answered a question
in anger. What is that supposed to mean somebody's yell
at her. No, but any kind of question that would
be seen as challenging her beliefs or anything that would
be seen as adversarial, she not answered any of those.

(45:40):
But I said, when this first started, go look at
Katie Hobbs, who is the governor of Arizona. If you
don't know who she is. Hobbes did not debate Harry Lake.
She did not debate. She kind of did really set

(46:00):
the framework and potentially the map on how to do
something like this, which is the media doesn't push as
hard as they should to get interviews, and the public
in some ways didn't really demand it, partially because Carrie
Lake was, for the most part, if you weren't a

(46:24):
fan of Trump or a populist, she was somewhat unlikable.
So she allowed that somewhat unlikable and in many cases
in her mind, mean person to kind of dangle out there.
And they never debated, and the playbook was set and

(46:45):
they didn't have to even though the polls were close.
She felt, I didn't have to and guess what she won.
And I said, would I be surprised if that happened here? No,
I wouldn't be.

Speaker 23 (46:57):
And the idea that they're calling him chicken when she
won't answer a single question, a hard question from a
journalist right.

Speaker 4 (47:02):
Now is a little rich to me.

Speaker 23 (47:03):
So, but I think they'll do it, and I think
they both have reason to need to show up. They
both have something to prove.

Speaker 2 (47:10):
I don't think she does not at this point, not
until you're forced to. And they're not forcing anything. Oh,
they're asking questions to the surrogate. When are you gonna
have a press conference or a sit down when you
But they don't press it. And the way they're going
to press it is by starting to answer the questions

(47:32):
that she won't on why she flip flops, put the
pressure on her that she has to actually account for
the changing of well all of her beliefs, apparently, because
until that happens, this is what you're gonna get. She's
gonna look there and go, I'm just gonna ride this
for as long as I can, until they force me to.

(47:54):
And if I can get away without debating, maybe I will.
And they want that microphone open for Trump because their
calculation is she's gonna piss him off. He's gonna say
something ridiculous, sexist, racist in their mind, and then that'll
be that for him. Three two, three, five, three eight,

Speaker 10 (49:49):

Speaker 2 (49:51):
Space is the Final Frontier, said some guy. And I
don't think when they told this couple you're going up
there for eight days and then you're going to come
straight back with Starliner, that the eight days would be eighty.
Then it would be another six months before they came home.
This is Scott Clayton, a former astronaut who has been

(50:13):
at the International Space Station, asking some serious questions here
about maybe they could have come home. What was the deal?

Speaker 3 (50:22):
Well, I think it's a combination of factors. Their safety
is always primary. We want to protect the safety of
the crew and the vehicle, and that's what they're trying
to do here. I personally think maybe that it would
have been safe for Boeing and Sonny and Butch to
come home on the star Liner.

Speaker 2 (50:40):
They're test pilots after all.

Speaker 3 (50:42):
But I don't know all the intimate details of the
data that was transferred. And there are a lot of
smart people at NASA, A lot of smart people that
were advising them.

Speaker 2 (50:51):
Yeah, a lot of smart people. But Boeing is just collapsing.
It just looks awful at this point in time. Now,
they asked a good buddy here again, mister Clayton, former astronaut?
Are you always an astronaut? Are you just you're always
an astronaut? Right, That's why I was. You mean, you're
always an astronaut, even if you're active ninety nine point

(51:12):
nine percent of time you're on Earth. But they asked
him about you know, hey, they're gonna be up there
for a long time. You don't get all the stuff,
you know, food, snacks, underwear.

Speaker 3 (51:22):
Well, there's nothing wrong with the delivery system, right, those
are separate vehicles, Those processes are solid. They come up
on a regular basis, so be Plenty of food, plenty
of water, plenty of oxygen, plenty of underwear.

Speaker 2 (51:35):
They shouldn't have any problem.

Speaker 15 (51:36):
In that regard.

Speaker 2 (51:37):
No problem, nothing to see here. Here's something interesting, though.
He was very honest about what if this was you
and you were stuck there, You were told you're gonna
be there for eight days. Obviously some things can go wrong.
It's space, not like you pull over and fix it.
How would you feel? And he was very honest about,
you know, and his wife had talked about it before

(51:58):
and he'd be a little.

Speaker 3 (52:00):
I'd have been a little chapped.

Speaker 2 (52:02):
Hey.

Speaker 3 (52:02):
You know, my wife and I talked about that sort
of thing toward the end of my increment, and we
both decided that the two of us and our family
could sustain maybe a one month or a two month
extension without you know, going crazy.

Speaker 2 (52:18):
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four, twenty three
at Chad Benson Show's your Twitter tweet at his text
the program right here on the Chad Benson Show. Wow,
that's very honest. Yeah, i'd be a little pissed. Hey, Ascott,
how's it going. I don't want to talk to you.
Guys talking a lot of today about free speech, and

(52:44):
I'm a free speech absolutist. This is who we are
in this country, and it is important that we continue
to remind everybody, including the world, this is what we're
about and why we are different. Last week, Russell Crowe,
actor Gladiator, was on talking to Joe Rowe, and he
was talking about a lot of things, but he got to,
you know, the point where he was talking about America

(53:04):
and what America means to the rest of the world.

Speaker 24 (53:07):
America, You've got to remember that it is the beacon
of freedom for everybody in the world. It's a huge responsibility.
If people are looking for something to change in their
life of something positive, the vast majority of people will
look towards America and say, well, that's the beacon.

Speaker 7 (53:21):
You know.

Speaker 24 (53:22):
I want to live like that, where people can say
what's on their mind and people can have different opinions.
People can be of all different you know, racist religions
to water and still be in the same community. It's
so important that America remains healthy into the future for everyone,
not just for Americans.

Speaker 2 (53:38):
True, and I don't think people understand that. And we
talked about Mark Zuckerbird today and what he has come
out and admitted, you know, Tim Walls and this entire
free speech thing, and people say, why don't I like him?
That's why maybe a great guy, nice to shake hands with.
Go coach, you're a wonderful person. The fact that you
would even hint at pressing speech is insane and that's

(54:04):
why you should be worried about quote unquote the other side.
If you're miss any your show, grab the podcast. It's
Chad Benson.

Speaker 26 (54:11):
Show, such Chad Benson Show, Independent Thoughts, Independent Life, this

(54:43):
is Chad Benson.

Speaker 27 (54:44):
This is the difference between a white liberal and a
white conservative the eyes of a black here's what the
liberals are doing. I see a young, articulate, successful black man.
It must have been so hard for you to overcome
the disparities, the discrimination, the racism. It is just so
amazing that you've become the acception to the rule. You
have just created something for yourself that is just so

(55:04):
difficult for minorities to do, and we're just so proud
of you. So like what you just think all black
people are just dumb thugs. They don't know how to
do nothing. I'm the exception to the rule purely because
I'm I found success like you have. Like I'm as
successful as you, so therefore I must just be a
special one?

Speaker 2 (55:21):
Are you a special one? According to them? You are.
I'm surprised you got your license because you guys didn't
know this that when when people of color, I pretendue
in particular black people, because let's be real, that's what
it's all about. And when they go to try to
find the DMV, everybody does what anyone that's right. They

(55:43):
change the front of the DMV so it doesn't look
like the DMV to fool people. Of color.

Speaker 27 (55:50):
Here's how white conservative. They'll see a young black man articulate,
successful and they'll be like, we're dude, congrats man, pull
yourself up by your bootstraps.

Speaker 2 (55:58):
That's cool, bro, keep a.

Speaker 27 (55:59):
Going, and they leave conserve.

Speaker 2 (56:02):
They don't care.

Speaker 27 (56:03):
It's like, oh, you worked hard, you want a cookie.
You want a cookie for working hard. I'll congratulate you
for just being a hard worker. But like, I'm not
gonna sit here, So I love conservatives for that. Like, hey, word, dude,
liberals got a tap dance a little bit, get on
their knees and kiss my big toe. Apologize for their whiteness.
I genuinely I'd rather be ignored than praised for my

(56:24):
disabilities fake disabilities, by the.

Speaker 2 (56:27):
Way, fake disabilities. I like that. Oh of course you would, Chatt,
he's conservative. I don't think he said he was conservative.
He just said that He's coming at it from two
different ways. And it's the truth. White liberals in particular
pity people of color because they think they can't do
They pity people of color because they think they're not
smart enough to really do anything right. Like, I mean,

(56:53):
you know, do you remember Kathy Holkle about the internet,
The Governor of New York. It's it's you know, well,
you know that don't know much about the internet. It's
so insane. It is here. Treat everybody as you would
treat everybody else, and wow, look what happens. That's equality. Oh,
it is the anniversarity of the horrors of what took

(57:15):
place in Afghanistan and our pullout that was an absolute debacle, which,
by the way, this administration has pretty much just did
everything to ignore it. So yesterday a gold Star mom
whose son was killed there was on CNN and I thought, well,
let's see what this is about. And it was very

(57:36):
interesting the way that they handled it and what they
allowed her to say, right because some of this he
slaps in the face of Kamala and she was asked
about you know, I don't know. Do you think they've
taken responsibility? Do you think they care? Do you think
that there's any blame?

Speaker 28 (57:53):
Well, it'd be great if the administration would start out
by saying we made a mistake, made several mistakes, we
did not make the best decisions. Instead, this administration has
tried to sweep it under the rug, and that's absolutely
not going to work for this nation, nor this world
who watched this live on television, you can't deny what

(58:18):
we all knew and saw.

Speaker 2 (58:21):
That's Paula nas self, her son was killed over there.
But Biden's so empathetic. This was very interesting as well,
because you've heard this from a lot of the gold
Star Family members, in particular the ones who died in
Afghanistan on that day, on how they felt they'd been
treated well.

Speaker 28 (58:39):
When I was I to eye with President Mightaen in
the White House Oval office at his invitation, it would
have been great if he would have leaned in and
gave me a hug at the moment I was weeping
in front of him.

Speaker 10 (58:50):
But he didn't.

Speaker 28 (58:51):
And so that marks a character issue. And that's what
I really am looking for, is better character in the
office for our president.

Speaker 2 (59:01):
That's what she's looking for. Better character. We'll settle down there,
not that I disliked Trump or hate him. We're gonna
sit there with a character. So I didn't, by the way,
I don't look for any of these presidents to have
any character. The way that we want our politicians to
be snow white as the day, We want them to
be absolutely perfect. It's just not they're flawed individuals who

(59:24):
are in many cases absolute narcissists, because you do not
get to the places that these people have got to
without narcissism, without ridiculous amount of cockiness and self belief
determination in some cases, and yes, a will to kind
of do things that others just wouldn't do. And you're

(59:44):
like and to take stuff that people say to you
and think, I don't care that being said, he was
supposed to be the dude with all the empathy, and
she's like, nah, it didn't show any empathy. Didn't give
me any empathy. Then she was asked about Vice President Harris,
who remember said, Hey, I'm the last person in the room.

Speaker 7 (01:00:06):
President Biden always said that he wants you to be
the last person in the room, particularly for big decisions,
just as he was for President Obama. He just made
a really big decision Afghanistan. Yes, were you the last
person in the room?

Speaker 2 (01:00:19):
Yes? See, I told you to make that up. How
does the gold Star Mom feel about vpers.

Speaker 28 (01:00:27):
You were with the whole administration in all of this.
You hold the same accountability as President Biden did. You
were right beside him in making these decisions. And if
you say you're not, and what kind of leader are
you going to be in the future if you didn't
have the same decision making with him on.

Speaker 2 (01:00:46):
This now in fairness, she goes on in that clip
with Afghanistan, says, look, at the end of the day,
it's his call, but you wanted to be there. You
want to be president. So are you going to distance
yourself and saying I wouldn't have done that? I don't know.
These are the things that she's gonna have to maybe
one day answer. And Afghanistan is a big deal. I

(01:01:08):
think it lands more on the Biden administration that does her.
But a lot of this stuff potentially does if she
doesn't back away. And it's hard to do because you're
gonna have to throw your boss under the bus and
you don't want to do that. So the best thing

(01:01:28):
to do is avoid, avoid avoid. One more from the
gold star moms self here, whose son was killed in Afghanistan,
was asked about Trump.

Speaker 14 (01:01:36):
You spoke with President Trump on the phone.

Speaker 28 (01:01:38):
Do you mind telling us what he said to you
when he called you? So this morning I was with
the troops in Fort Liberty. I'm making my way right
now to DC to spend some time with Ryan tomorrow
and what Trump said to me was is that he
was sorry, he was so sorry that all this happened,

(01:02:01):
and that it should have never happened. And he's right,
it should have never happened.

Speaker 2 (01:02:09):
So GoldStar Mom there and not happy with a lot
of the stuff. And I think most of the gold
Star parents who have felt that they were completely ignored
by the Biden administration. If you go back and look
at the numbers of the Biden administration, from the moment

(01:02:33):
this happened, they started to collapse those numbers and they
never regained any of that. And this is a stain
on our country. It is a stained on this presidency
for sure, among other things. But the reality is is
they failed, and they failed these parents, and they failed
these family members. And the way we pulled out of Afghanistan,
the way that everything happened, would it have been perfect

(01:02:54):
if it was Trump, I don't know. Would we have
gotten out if it was Trump again, I don't know.
I don't know because he wasn't there. But the people
that want to blame this s on Trump, that is stupid.
Like I said the other day, at what point does
the presidency become your own? There will always be a
little bit of lap over because you know this, you

(01:03:17):
know this lapping over here because of the timing and
everything like that. But after a while, you've got to
own your decisions. And while the decision was to get out,
which we should have done, because we should never have
nation builds in a place that, let's be real, will
never be nation built because they're going to live the
way that they want it, which is the sixth century.

(01:03:38):
We talked yesterday about what they're doing with the ladies.
Still waiting for everybody to go outside start marching for
that if you didn't here yesterday. They've got a new
rule in Afghanistan. Woman cannot leave the house without a
family member. A male family member cannot look at another

(01:04:02):
person that is not a family member, must be fully
in the beekeeper outfit and cannot be heard and by
that I mean their voice. Anything cannot be heard outside
of the home or it is a punishable offense. Yeah, solid,

(01:04:26):
it was a failure. We spent twenty years there, trillions
of dollars. It was a giant, huge, massive waste. We
should never nation build. Now. If somebody comes to us
because they have gone through a revolution and wants to
learn about democracy and stuff, that's one thing. But nation
building should never have happened, and they have never been

(01:04:49):
conquered because to conquer them would mean you'd have to
eliminate a vast majority of them. And the Taliban they
rule that place with an iron thumb, and they're not
giving that up. That being said, they also recognize now
we're not gonna allow anybody to come here and set
up shop anymore. That's detrimental to us. So there you go, kids.

(01:05:13):
Gold Star family member, not thrilled by the way this
administration is gone, has some questions to VP Harris and
whether or not she'd be a good president. Love to
hear from you, talk a little bit about, Oh, I
don't know the Olympics, because way do to you hear
what the North Koreans are up to roughgreens, ruff greens
dot com, slash yet vitamins, minerals, probiotics and make a

(01:05:34):
three sixty nine. All of this incredible stuff power packed
into an amazing supplement that you give your dog on
a daily basis. Now you do this by sprinkling on
top of your dog's food. You don't have to cook
them anything, you have to freeze anything. It's just a supplement.
A powder supplement you sprinkle on top of their food,
and their food, for the most part, comes alive. As
I like to say, that's gonna help them with their
aches and pains and their joints, their digestive track, their skin,

(01:05:56):
their fur, their teeth, their gums. It's gonna give them
more energy. It is truly a maze. Doctor Dennis Black,
the naturopathic doctor who formulated rough Greens, wants you to
try this, and he's so sure about it he's willing
to send you a Jumpstar trial bag for free. All
they ask you to do is cover the cost of shipping.
Do this by going to roughgreens dot com slash Chad
ruff greens dot com slash chatter called eight eight eight

(01:06:17):
ninety my dog for rough Greens. It's a Chad Benson.

Speaker 29 (01:06:20):
Show, serving up talk radio, medium, rare and dripping with irony.

Speaker 10 (01:06:36):
It's Chad Benson.

Speaker 2 (01:06:50):
The Olympics may be over, but they're not over for
the North Korean table tennis slash ping pong team. You see,
they did something so ridiculously stupid you're asking yourself, what
did they do? Jed. Well, first of all, they took
a photo they did next to South Koreans. Oh my,

(01:07:15):
the enemy, you say, guys, do say the enemy. So
the North Korean table tennis silver medalists, who practice some
selfie love, as they say, with the competition, happened to
lose to the South Koreans. So they took a photo
and in one of the photos North Koreas Kim Come
Young seemed to be smiling. You can't do that with

(01:07:36):
the enemy. So they're gonna face some consequences. Of course
they are Chad. It's North Korea, So what kind of
consequences could they face. They're going a through a month
long cleanse. Now, when you and I go through a
cleans it's different, Like I'm not gonna eat meat now,
I'm only gonna do this. It's gonna be a Jews cleanse.
Their clan's totally different. It's a cleans from exposure to contamination.

(01:07:59):
Such a cleanse is reportedly a three stage ideological assessment
process by the country's Minister of Sport. So what they're
gonna do is they're gonna target them and rid the
players of any remaining influence of non socialist culture. They
were given special instructions when they went to the Olympics.

(01:08:20):
Don't talk to the South Koreans. Are any foreign athletes or
you will face consequences. So the North Korean soccer team
slash football team played in the twenty ten World Cup.
They did not score a goal. What was their punishment
when they got home? They had to bear a six
hour barrage of criticism publicly. Boy, they sound like fun.

(01:08:44):
Speaking of Fun, Oasis back together after fifteen years, Me
and him like celeopoptic.

Speaker 30 (01:08:52):
I mean, I know Marather better than anybody else. When
both come together, greatness will never ever forget the way

(01:09:18):
that you made them feel.

Speaker 2 (01:09:20):
They're back and get your tickets if you want to go.
They're going to do four dates right now at Wembley,
but that's probably going to change to more. They're going
to do several dates in Europe. Probably come over here.
Liam and Noel two brothers who you know. I am
fifty three. They were for quite a long time the

(01:09:43):
biggest band in the world. Younger kids maybe just finding
out about them. They were massive, Liam some people. So
you've got two brothers here from Manchester to men CuNi
and some whatever, and they're on the blue half, which
means they like man City. But I'm not going to
be mad at him for that, because the music's amazing,

(01:10:03):
but they have not always got along. Noel is the songwriter, deeper,
Liam's the lead singer, a little bit crazier. And I remember,
and just to give you guys, where I lived in London.
They lived right next to me, literally right next to me,
and when they were first coming up, and it was
just very interesting because Noel used to always say, no

(01:10:28):
matter what I do, all the things for Oasis, the writing,
all of that stuff, I can't do what he can do,
which is the crowd the rock star. So one is
a poet, the other's town crier, as somebody said. But
that being said, they have not always got along. So
get your tickets early and make sure you get the

(01:10:49):
insurance on your hotels and tickets just in case they
break up during the you know, rehearsals. But just to
give you an idea how fast things change. This is
probably price gouging in America, I'm surprised, not price gouging
in Europe. Hotels already.

Speaker 31 (01:11:05):
The other thing that's really interesting we've just done in
the last hour or so. It's had a quick look
at hotels inn around Wembley Stadium for the dates that
Oasis are playing, the twenty fifth and twenty sixth of July,
and then the beginning of the following August. That's the
second and third of August. And for some hotels you
can't even get a hotel room. And then one of

(01:11:26):
them on booking dot com, I had a quick look
a holiday in a couple of miles away the week
before the concert. It's one hundred and ninety five pounds
a night. The first night of the concert it's five
hundred and ninety four pounds a night. So already people
are getting on the hotel rooms even before the tickets
go on sales. That gives you some sense of just

(01:11:47):
how much demand there is for these tickets.

Speaker 2 (01:11:50):
So eight hundred dollars a night to stay at a
holiday in close by because of these guys, that's why
they tour. It's a money grab maybe, but they are awesome.
If you've never seen an a concert, they are awesome.
Three two, three, five, three eight, twenty four twenty three
at Chad Benson's show. That is your Twitter, your Instagram,

(01:12:13):
all of the other things that you want to reach
out to us love it when you do. Right here
on the Chad Benson show coming up third hour, more
on free speech, because I'm a big fan of free
speech and there's some serious questions about the Democrats and
what has happened. Mark Zuckerberg came out and said, look,

(01:12:34):
wrote a letter, send it to Jim Jordan and said
they absolutely pressured us, the Biden Harrison administration, one hundred percent.
They pushed us when it came to disinformation, whether it
be through COVID or whatever they wanted it to be
called disinformation. We didn't know if it was or wasn't.
Same thing with the laptop. And that's a serious issue.

(01:12:55):
It absolutely is. And if you don't think it is,
you are a sh That's what you are. What is that?
That's a sheep? If you missed any show, grab the podcast.
It is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 1 (01:13:05):
This is the Chad Benson Show, Independent Thoughts, Independent life,

(01:13:35):

Speaker 19 (01:13:36):
Now.

Speaker 18 (01:13:37):
They want last minute the debate they requested, with the
rules they requested, with the rules they agreed to. We
either demand a change or what Now? She doesn't want
a debate either. My guess is she doesn't. If I'm
Donald Trump, I don't think you can give in anymore.
I don't think you should ever have agreed to a
debate on ABC.

Speaker 5 (01:13:53):
Look, Sean, I think Trump needs to do the debate,
and frankly, I think he should agree to whatever stupid
rules they want. It's going to be hustling, rig regardless,
and I think Kamala Harris would love to cancel the
debate and blame it on Trump.

Speaker 2 (01:14:06):
Apps freaking Ludely, she must do whatever she can not
to debate what chat? Yeah, follow the roadmap that Katie
Hobbs of Arizona, the governor of Arizona who won without
debating Carrie Lake. Many people call her the female version

(01:14:28):
of Donald Trump didn't have to people, I guess more't curious.
There's a roadmap there. If you don't have to, don't
do it. Change the rules, flip flop, you're doing it
with everything. Don't answer any questions till you absolutely want
to under pretend positively, must or else. Trump needs a debate,
not not VP Harris at this moment in time.

Speaker 5 (01:14:53):
My advice would be, come up with ever stupid rules
you want. If you want her to wear a cheesehead
while she's debating, you want the MIC's hot or not,
you want her to have an encyclopedia of talking points
in front of her.

Speaker 13 (01:15:04):
I don't care.

Speaker 5 (01:15:05):
I want to stand up directly and contrast her record
and mind because on every front Donald Trump's record, we
had success in this country. We had peace, we had prosperity,
we had record low unemployment.

Speaker 2 (01:15:19):
You have to debate. She doesn't at this moment in time.
Now that may change, but at this moment in time,
it's on you. Nobody's clamoring to get her to speak
to the cameras. Oh, they mentioned it every once in
a while. Oh, she's gonna do an interview, But she will.
I mean, yeah, it's it's gonna happen. It's some like

(01:15:42):
gid Yeah, she's gonna She's gonna do it like it's
gonna happen, you know, like at some point it will happen.
You know what did I see the other day one
of her surrogates came out and said that, uh, now
it's not she'll do an interview by the end of
the month, that she'll schedule and interview by the end

(01:16:03):
of the month. But Trump, you need to debate.

Speaker 8 (01:16:08):
Yeah, he does not have a lot of leverage in
my view. He again, Harris is ahead right now. She
probably win an election right now. So Trump wants variants,
wants opportunities to upend the narrative. So she doesn't really
have a lot of leverage. I mean obviously, like when
he's more disciplined, a better candidate. So you want Mike's
you want things that create more focus, if power, Harris

(01:16:29):
will be like, okay, tough news, buddy, you know if
you want a debate, it's my rules.

Speaker 2 (01:16:34):
Nate Silver five thirty eight fame at this point in time, Yeah,
because the polls and the modeling. I don't look at
the polls anymore. I think polls are silly. Although there's
a hilarious poll out from Fairleigh Dickens, which is a
college by the way, sounds like something you'd get a

(01:16:55):
muff Hey, can you give me one of those muffins?
You want? What do you want? Wander hostess? Who makes
it fairly Dickinson? Oh, you are fairly Dickinson. Fantastic. But
in the poll, this is a great pole, guys. Masculinity
is a part of it. They ask you questions inside
of the poll of how masculine of a man you are.

(01:17:18):
The less masculine, the more of a chance you're going
to vote for Harris, I'd to make the poll a fairly.
Dickinson did that being said, you've got a debate, and
I said, Katie Hobbs, and we talked a little bit
at last hour. Why there is a roadmap from her
that's important is Arizona. We know what happened Swing state,

(01:17:41):
all the chaos that went in at the time she
was Secretary of State that was in charge of the elections.
The Republicans tried to destroy her, and instead they made
her a star. In fact, she would not have been
the governor candidate from the Democratic side, I think, had

(01:18:03):
it not been for all of the stuff that happened
after the twenty twenty election, which then elevated her to
the point where people were sending her so much money.
She became the de facto nominee. She ran against carry Lake.
Carry Lake an identical version, if you will, of Trump.
You know they're all bad clones, but this one's the

(01:18:24):
closest clone of the bunch. I would say, at least
at that point in time. She would not debate Carrie Lake.
She wouldn't do any interviews. I happened to interview her
a couple times, but you could rarely ask her any
questions about that. It was all about other stuff. When

(01:18:45):
she was running in Secretary of State and all this stuff.
She wouldn't do anything that wasn't friendly, nothing adversarial, and
it seemed to work. So if you are VP Harris
at this point in time, why would you debate? You've
got no reason too. And if you're going to debate,

(01:19:06):
get everything you want, which is the most important thing.
Keep those mics open.

Speaker 4 (01:19:12):
The American people want to see these two folks on
the debate stage talking about the issues that are important
to the American people. You know, we made clear in
our convention that this is about our fundamental freedoms. All
those things are on the ballot. We know what Donald
Trump's Project twenty twenty five is all about about really
going after those freedoms and the rights. Those things need

(01:19:35):
to be debated, and Donald Trump needs to talk about
his actual agenda. It's scared to see that this former
president is so scared to get on the debate stage.
But I guess if I had his positions, I'd be
scared to let the American people know what they worry
as well?

Speaker 2 (01:19:53):
What are her positions? Out of curiosity, I mean, I'm
asking for a friend and everybody else in America that
doesn't hate Trump but is actually trying to make a
decision based on factors that matter, like what are your positions? Oh,
you don't know what they are. No, you don't know

(01:20:14):
what they are. You have no idea what your positions
are because you've not been told your positions, because your
positions you had in the past, those are gone, Axios. Today,
she's for building the wall now un American wall. Yes,
she's for building the evil Unamerican wall. No way, She's

(01:20:38):
never said the wall was un American and bad. That
is such a lie.

Speaker 5 (01:20:44):
Jat.

Speaker 2 (01:20:44):
Oh no, she said it. She said it on more
than a few occasions. And now, according to Axios, she's
only spent hundreds of millions of dollars on the wall.

Speaker 12 (01:20:54):
We don't need to build a wall. This is a
crisis of his own making. And by definition does plane
speak basic English language definition? It is not an emergency.
This issue is about a vanity project for this present right,
and it is a problem of his own making.

Speaker 2 (01:21:15):
That one.

Speaker 19 (01:21:16):
I'm gonna stop them.

Speaker 2 (01:21:17):
No, go on and on. But she's now flipped the
script in her world, and she's four fracking. She is
four being strong on the border. She is four tax cuts,

(01:21:37):
She's four no taxes on tips, she is for the wall.
We can go on and on from where you were
to where you are. I'm not saying you can't get
to those places, but we do have a right to
ask the question of how do you feel about these
while I'm there? Okay, why are you there? Is it
because it's politically advantageous you to be in the center

(01:22:01):
and trying to fool America with all of this stuff
that this is who you really are? Now? Did you
really move there based on the fact that once you
got to the vice presidency you looked around and you
thought to yourself, the things I wanted were pieing the
sky and they were never going to work. It sounds great,
but the reality is something different. Okay, convinced the country,

(01:22:24):
but nobody's had the chance to ask her those questions.
And that's why the debate is the most important thing.
The best journalism in the next couple months may be
what happens on that stage, and Trump may be the
journalist who he's not asking. The only questions that many
people may get an answer from this vice president and

(01:22:47):
her presidency. Think about that for a second, crazy, right,
but honest. And when people get mad at me and
they say, oh, chah, I can't believe you. You're telling
you not to debate. I'm telling that from a political
like if I was trying to get my person the job,

(01:23:09):
this is what I would do until it's absolutely necessary.
Until you get to the point where the noise is
so loud, the pressure is so strong and so powerful
because the media now is starting to answer questions for you.
Your surrogance aren't getting it done that you're forced to

(01:23:31):
go out there and answer tough questions. But until that time,
play the game Bob and Weave, do all of the things,
but do not do anything until you absolutely have to.

(01:23:52):
And if the past has been something of recent past
about whether or not you need to debate, all you
have to do is look over in Arizona and what
took place there. The governors that is sitting there now
in the governor mansion slash house slash whatever, never got

(01:24:12):
in the debate stage, never really answered any questions. Three two, three, five, three, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at Shed Benson's show, to Twitter,
your Instagram, all of the other things, A lot of
stuff still to get to including yas meta with a
big mayakopa talk about that. Bullwark Capital wants to give

I read that rather fast, because that's what I do. Kids.
I can go very fast in these things. Coming up,
We're gonna do a little watch trending. We got some
of the meta apology as well, and some of your
text and tweets. It is the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 10 (01:26:30):

Speaker 2 (01:26:32):
Now it's time to find out what's trending. What's trending.

Speaker 32 (01:26:45):
Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Russia, Sereno, what truping?

Speaker 2 (01:27:01):
Let's find out what's trending on the old interwebs, shall we?
Let's start with the Yahoo US Open. Tennis started yesterday.
Expect a million people flushing New York for the US Open.
And US Open is unlike any other tennis tournament that's
out there right each each you know, one of these

(01:27:22):
big tournaments has something that's really cool. Australia starts it
off right as the Grand Slam. You've got French Open
on clay, Wimbledon on grass, and the US Open is
interesting because it is loud, it's in your face, and
the best games are at night and the place is crazy.
Kick Kennedy, I'm RFK Junior, Russia, Ukraine war Oasis reuniting

(01:27:47):
after fifteen years. See how long that lasts. I just
feel like halfway through they are going to break up,
like maybe the first get together when they're talking about
what's the set list? Maybe the first rehearsal in the
middle of a concert. Roadblock's Donald Trump, Taylor Swift all trending,
Head on over to Google that girgirl Ry Kerry announced Yesterdady,

(01:28:10):
their mother and sister both died on the same day.
Sid Vicious, the wrestler, not the punk star. He's already dead,
passed away yesterday. Tulci Gabbert endorsed Trump rece university murder
suicide on the campus. Horrific. Mark Zuckerberg, We've talked about
that throughout the day, announcing, Yeah, they put all kinds

(01:28:31):
of pressure on us, this administration to slap stuff down,
and that should be a bigger story. It really should,
and it shows you who you're dealing with and why
free speech is so important. And finally, over to Twitter,
National Dog Day Afghanistan. How about those new rules for

(01:28:51):
the ladies? Huh, your voice cannot be heard outside three two, three, five, three,
eight twenty four. At Chad Benson's show, it's your Twitter,
your Instagram and all of the other stuff that's out there.
On the Ched Benson Show, they've essentially said his slavery's good.

(01:29:13):
We're gonna treat these people as second class citizens. And
I'm still waiting for the marches. No marches yet, Oh
my lord, Tulcy Gabbertt Zuckerberg, Oasis all trending, And yesterday
was a woman in Quality Day, still waiting for the
women to be marching for the ladies of Afghanistan. It
is interesting, though, this whole news cycle, it's so fast,

(01:29:37):
it goes so quick. Right now. The big thing is
there's not a lot going on in the presidential this
week because next week, obviously it's kind of the real
kickoff in the sprint. And now it's the debate rules
and Trump has to debate. And I agree with Nate Silver,
who's got a new book out, but he's going and
making the rounds, and they asked him, heyes, he have
to debate.

Speaker 8 (01:29:56):
Yeah, he does not have a lot of leverage in
my view. Again, Harris is ahead right now. She would
probably win an election right now. So Trump wants variants,
wants opportunities to updend the narrative. So she doesn't really
have a lot of leverage. I mean, obviously, like when
he's more disciplined, is a better candidate. So you want
Mike's you want things that create more focus. If Ira
Harris will be like, Okay, tough, tough news buddy, you know,

(01:30:20):
if you want a debate, it's my.

Speaker 2 (01:30:21):
Rules, and I agree one hundred percent. Here are the rules.
You are going to have to debate under these rules.
And what do they want? They want the mics open
all the time? Why? Because they're they're betting Trump is
not disciplined enough to not say something stupid and criticize
her by calling her an idiot, stupid, are you really black?

(01:30:43):
You know whatever? That's what they're betting on. And it's
all about negotiations. But as much as people say this
is about negotiations right now, she's kind of sitting in
the Catfurt Sea tweet at is text the program you
miss any show, grab the podcast. It is the Chat Benson.

Speaker 26 (01:30:58):
Show, Thought, Chad Benson, Shoe.

Speaker 1 (01:31:20):
Independent Thoughts, Independent Life.

Speaker 10 (01:31:24):

Speaker 33 (01:31:25):
During a complex rescue mission. Kite Van Kadi from the
bedroom community of Rock, who was kidnapped from Israel Baijrama's
terrorists during their massacre on October seventh, has been rescued.

Speaker 2 (01:31:41):
How about those apples? Huh So somebody who was kidnapped
almost a year ago has been rescued yet another hostage. Course.
Last week, there were six hostages that were discovered, but
they were were all dead. This person is alive and

(01:32:04):
IDF and their intelligence agency went to work and wow,
not a shock a tunnel.

Speaker 33 (01:32:11):
We cannot go into many details of this special operation,
but I can share that Israeli commandos rescued kite for
Hanel Caddy from an underground tunnel following accurate intelligence.

Speaker 2 (01:32:27):
So there you go. Very interesting. Indeed, will know more
over the next coming days. I bet you the rescue
was freaking crazy, amazing. And wonder how many they killed?
You mean innocent? Yeah, it was just men and women.
It was just children, children and women. That was it.
That was all that was there guarding him because they
kidnapped him. You dopes out there who just are living

(01:32:53):
for some sort of Hamas benevolent kind and caring group
of folk, are fooling yourselves. You really are. And the
greatest crime that is being perpetrated to the people of Gods,
the Palestinians, is being done by Hamas. They are the

(01:33:14):
ones who are committing the greatest crime because they've held
their people hostage for years. They've had every opportunity to
lay down their weapons to step away from their hatred
of the Jews, and they refuse to do it. Do
they really hate the Jews. I'll tell you what the

(01:33:35):
leaders do. They love the Jews because the Jews to
them are business and right now business is booming because
it's about money. To them, these guys are worth billions
of dollars hiding all over throughout parts of the Middle East,

(01:34:00):
and a non hatred of the Jews would mean they'd
have to get real jobs. And their job is to
get you to hate the Jews by getting the Jews
to react to violent incursions into their land and killing them.

(01:34:21):
You pay the price for it. They profit off of it. Wow,
that sounds like it's a loss for you. Three two, three, five, eight,
twenty four to twenty three at shed Minton Show, is
your Twitter tweet at us text to program a letter
from Zuckerberg. That's right. Mark Zuckerberg sent a letter to
Jim Jordan said yeah, so totally censored a lot of stuff.

Speaker 9 (01:34:49):
Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg, admitting he bowed to pressure from
the Biden administration to censor content. The Facebook founder issuing
a letter to the House Judiciary Committee that said Senior
administration officials pushed the social media platform to censor posts
about COVID nineteen and expressed a lot of frustration when
the company resisted. Zuckerberg saying, I believe the government pressure
was wrong, and I regret that we were not more

(01:35:10):
outspoken about it.

Speaker 2 (01:35:12):
You should have been more outspoken about it. So I
now we was explaining it to people yesterday, saying, ah,
look at this, because he's also, by the way, one
thing we didn't touch on earlier. He's no more Zuckerbucks.
He says he wants to be politically neutral. He's not
given he gave up four hundred plus million dollars to
mostly Democrat leaning grassroots campaigns to help register people and

(01:35:33):
do a lot of stuff. He says, I don't want
any part of that anymore. I'm going to play play
it just straight down the middle. I want to be neutral.
He got blamed in twenty sixteen being part of the
problem with Cambridge Analytics and part of the reason that
Trump got into office. There was partial blame to him.
In twenty twenty, partial blame two the Republican to the

(01:35:59):
Republicans why Biden got into office. They blamed him partially
for that. That he did all this stuff and now
he says, no, I don't want any part of this.
But here's something This has nothing to do with the
money he gave or what happened twenty twenty in twenty sixty,
this should all the view of the fact that this
administration pressured him and pressured the organization, which means if

(01:36:21):
they're pressuring him, they're pressuring Twitter, They're pressuring Twitter, they're
pressuring Instagram. They're pressuring them to delete, they're pressuring them
to suppress, they're pressuring them to shadow band any information
that could be seen as harmful towards what they were doing,

(01:36:44):
which was trying to win an election. Now here's the thing.
Trump was president at the time, but the powers that
be behind the doors, the fifty people intelligence community folk
signed off on all this stuff, government pressure because the
goal is to do what to defeat Trump? That was

(01:37:08):
the goal. Defeating Trump was the most important thing. But
take that away, what about us, the average people that
don't have the platform that Trump and everybody else does.
I got suspended on Facebook, on Twitter on numerous occasions
for asking questions about the Wuhan lab and things of

(01:37:30):
that nature. You guys, remember him talking about COVID.

Speaker 16 (01:37:33):
Or in the middle of a pandemic, and we've assessed
that misinformation about COVID and treatments that could put people
an additional risk of getting the disease or not seeking
the right treatment if they have it, that those are
also things that could cause imminent harm.

Speaker 2 (01:37:57):
Yeah, can cause imminent harm. And as told to us
by the people that sent us stuff and said, hey,
we're not telling you have to do this, but we
will destroy you if you don't. Essentially, so here's the
things that you're allowed to say. Imminent harm, et cetera,
et cetera. You know, the push, the insanity that went
with it. You weren't allowed to question anything. You weren't

(01:38:18):
even allowed to question where the damn thing came from
because science, right, it came from nature. You mean not
from the lab that studies coronavirus in Wuhan, up the
street from the wet market where you said it came from.
Because somebody decided to take a bat out of nature
and have it as a bat kebab. I couldn't ask

(01:38:40):
a question without being suspended. We should all care about
this because it's about free speech, and let's not forget
what took place.

Speaker 13 (01:38:51):
When it came to the laptop, Like, there was a
lot of attention on Twitter during the election because of
the Hunter Biden laptop store, the need that we two, Yeah,
so you guys censored that as well, So.

Speaker 14 (01:39:04):
We took a different path than Twitter. I mean basically
the background here is the FBI I think basically came
to us some folks on our team. It was like, hey,
just so you know, like you should be on high alert.
There was we thought that there was a lot of
Russian propaganda in the twenty sixteen election. We have it
on notice that basically there's about to be some kind

(01:39:27):
of dump of that's similar to that, so just be vigilant.
So our protocol is different from Twitter's. What Twitter did
is they said you can't share this at all. We
didn't do that, so.

Speaker 2 (01:39:42):
They didn't do that, but what they did might as
well have been the same, because letting you think you
posted something only for it to really go nowhere and
nobody to really see it means did you really post it? Well,
of course I did. It was there, so you had
that sense of, well, at least they're letting you post.

Speaker 14 (01:40:00):
If something is reported to us as potentially misinformation important misinformation.
We also this third party fact checking program because we
don't want to be deciding what's true and false. And
for the I think it was five or seven days
when it was basically being being determined whether it was false.
The distribution on Facebook was decreased, but people were still

(01:40:21):
allowed to share it, so you could still share it,
you could still consume it. We say the distribution is decreased,
It got shared basically the ranking and news feed was
a little bit less, so fewer people saw it than
would have otherwise. So it definitely by what percentage, I
don't know off the top of my head, but it's
it's it's meaningful, but I mean, but basically a lot

(01:40:43):
of people are still able to share it. We got
a lot of complaints that was the case. You know,
obviously this is a hyper political issue, so depending on
what side of the political spectrum, you either think we
didn't censor it enough or censored it way too much.
But we weren't sort of as black and white.

Speaker 2 (01:40:57):
We weren't sort of as black and white. No, you
allowed people to think they were sharing something, and then
you gave them a sense that well, at least they're
being fair, and they weren't. It was bs. What's the
White House have to say?

Speaker 9 (01:41:14):
President Biden was asked about misinformation online in the summer
of twenty twenty one going pandemic.

Speaker 26 (01:41:19):
We have is among the unvaccinators and they're killing people.

Speaker 9 (01:41:24):
Biden later walked back the comment, insisting he wasn't attacking Facebook. Overnight,
the White House responded to Zuckerberg's letter. Our position has
been clear and consistent. We believe tech companies and other
private actors should take into account the effects their actions
have on the American people while making independent choices about
the information they present.

Speaker 2 (01:41:44):
That's not their job. And by the way, stop protecting
everybody from the world of misinformation. Stop. If you're interested
in finding out the truth of something, you'll do a
little due diligence. If not, well, then you're going to
be one of the people that reads the headline and
runs with it. Stop trying to protect everybody from the

(01:42:07):
decisions they make or lack of decisions to follow through
and look up stuff. It's not your job. And the
big problem here is how many times we were told
by the media, by all of these social media companies,
by government entities, how wrong we were, how that they
weren't suppressing, that they weren't in cahoots with that, they

(01:42:29):
weren't doing this, they weren't doing that, that none of
this stuff mattered. It was all bloney, and you're making
stuff up and your mind and it's another conspiracy, and
it wasn't. It was not.

Speaker 34 (01:42:39):
His company did suppress links to stories about Hunter Biden's laptop.
Zuckerberg says his firm Quote temporarily demoted The New York
Post's reporting after the FBI warned Meta about a potential
Russian disinformation effort. Zuckerberg adds, it's since been made clear
that the reporting was not Russian disinformation, and in retrospect,
we shouldn't have demote the story.

Speaker 2 (01:43:00):
Would that have made a difference. Seventy nine percent of
people according to one of the last I Guess polls
that came out, said that yeah, would have made a
difference had they known what was going on with Hunter,
potentially Biden and all the stuff, which I still think,
at some point it comes out people say, well, it's
not a big deal. It is a big deal. It
is a big deal. It's never about Hunter's laptop. To me,

(01:43:22):
it was about put any story in there. The suppression
of free speech, the suppression of people to learn potentially
what was going on. That to me was a bigger issue.
But because it was Trump, everybody thought, well, it's okay, right,
it's Trump. He's a bad person. It's okay, he's a meaning,

(01:43:43):
it's okay. I mean the ends justified the means. No,
they don't. They don't, nor should they. It's insane to
think that people feel that way. And there are plenty
of you out there who feel that way. I get
your text, I get your tweets. You hate him so

(01:44:03):
much that you're fine with whatever has to happen, thinking well,
once we do this, once we'll put the genie back
in the bottle. It doesn't work that way. That's why
I look at somebody like Tim Walls and the fact
that he thinks hate speech shouldn't be allowed. I'm here
to tell you hate speech is the only speech that

(01:44:24):
is protected, because if it's nice speech, it doesn't have
to be protected. And the fact that he feels that
way should scare all of us because they want to
be the arbiter of what speech should and shouldn't be,
what information you should and should have. It's not just
about speech it's about the information and in itself that
you would get and make a decision on that they

(01:44:45):
wouldn't like. I don't know if the Hunter Biden laptop
would have actually made a difference as far as the
information that came out of there. But what should make
a difference is the fact that they went so far
is to go and cut it up, squash the information,
and in doing all of that, gaslight the people by

(01:45:06):
saying they're crazy and it was Russian disinformation and you
shouldn't believe any of it, knowing full well for the
most part, everybody knew it was real. That's what should
scare you. Three two, three, five, eight, twenty four to
twenty three Act had Benson Show, to Twitter, Insta, all

Speaker 25 (01:46:28):
Show irreverence, Like, yeah, so what it's the Chad Benson Show.

Speaker 19 (01:46:45):
Jonathan the tortoise was born before your grandparents, your great grandparents,
and likely you're great great grandparents.

Speaker 20 (01:46:52):
Jonathan is the oldest living land animal, and that is
now recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records.

Speaker 19 (01:47:00):
At one hundred and ninety two years old, Jonathan has
seen a lot. Born during the reign of Queen Victoria
and has lived through forty American presidencies. He's met royalty
in nineteen forty seven, before she was Queen, Jonathan met
then Princess Elizabeth.

Speaker 2 (01:47:16):
How about that the things that tortoise has seen in
his lifetime? Tons of it for sure, which brings us
to our stupid information of the day.

Speaker 33 (01:47:24):
And then I go and spoil it all.

Speaker 13 (01:47:27):
I say something stupid.

Speaker 2 (01:47:28):
It all takes stupid pills this morning.

Speaker 31 (01:47:30):
It's the honest ones you want to watch out for,
because you can never predict.

Speaker 2 (01:47:35):
They're going to do something incredibly stupid. Now you're the
fact stupid one with the big mouth is stupid little
after time. You should never underestimize the predictability of stupidity.

Speaker 4 (01:47:48):
Now it's time for.

Speaker 15 (01:47:53):
Stupid information.

Speaker 2 (01:47:56):
He is the longest living land animal, over one hundred
and ninety years and healthy. You've got things like the
greenland shark that they have some who estimate they're about
four hundred plus years old. You have coral that is
four thousand year old. But there are two things that
may be older than that. The potentially immortal jellyfish may

(01:48:18):
live forever. That's right, as well as the hydra, which
they say is potentially immortal. It's a group of small
invertebrates with soft bodies that slightly resemble jellyfish and a tea.
They have a potential to live forever. These invertebrates are
largely made up of stem cells which continually regenerate. How

(01:48:39):
about those apples, kids, You learned a little something today.
But when I think of animal animals, I think of
the Greenland shark, and I think of our tortoise friend
Jonathan there. Okay, you know what I'm talking about. Three two, three, five,
three eight, twenty four to twenty three at Chad Benson Show.
That's your Twitter, your Instagram, reach out to us across
all of our social media right here in the Chad
Benson Show, Solid fun show today Tomorrow. Who knows what

(01:49:04):
will bring us? I continue to say, I think this
week is going to be pretty quiet, all things considered,
because starting next Tuesday, it is going to be on
when it comes to the sprint to the presidency, as
well as the other things which we'll look at tomorrow,
the Senate, the House. How important are those races? I
think very important because the reality is Trump without the

(01:49:26):
Senate and the House, it's kind of a bit of
a lame duck. Trump with all three that'll be interesting.
And Kamala without the Senate in the House, who knows
what that would look like. We will discuss that. You guys,
have a blessed rest of your Tuesday. I'm not really
a fan of Tuesdays. Gooey tacos, night night Jack.
